When Martin Luther King Jr. discerned that the coming era would require a human rights movement, he called the poor to lead the way. In the Poor People’s Campaign he drew leaders together across race lines to tackle the enmeshed evils of racism, poverty, and war. Wessel-McCoy roots King’s political strategy in his theological ethics and traces the spirit of the campaign to community and religious leaders who are responding to the crises of inequality today.
